allegedly filming women and girls in the Westbad - secretly, without their knowledge.

The indictment lists several incidents of this kind for January 26, 2020. Mario M. is also said to have filmed a man and an eight-year-old boy.
Bathers caught him red-handed
and reported the tensioner.
The police immediately arrested the 32-year-old.
Because of prohibited video recordings, he now had to
answer
before the
district court in Munich
.
“This is not your first time here,” scolded judge Ines Tauscher.
Because Mario M. has yet another process for sexual assault on the neck, in which he had already been convicted.
A few months ago he had molested a girl several times.
The sentence at the district court: two years and four months imprisonment.
Munich: 32-year-old perpetrator has to go to prison
The security man does not provide any information on the accused swimming pool incidents - which is legally permitted.
But the sex offender still has to go to jail.
Because through lawyer Claudia Enghofer, Mario M. closed a so-called
deal with the local court
.
The current case is discontinued, but M. withdraws his appeal in the case with the sexual coercion of the girl.
Because he now
accepts
this
punishment
and no longer appeals to the district court, he does not have to sit in prison any longer.
Otherwise he would have been threatened with two sentences and an even higher prison sentence than before.

In 2017, for example, a police officer also filmed women and children in the locker room. He was suspended. In the time after that, the tensioner fear went around - the uncertainty was great, especially with families. Only about two weeks ago there was another incident: A 54-year-old filmed children in the Westbad when they were moving. According to the police, he even had six different cell phones with him.
